Washington state Democratic candidate Krista Perez is arrested on suspicion of DUI following a traffic stop in Tacoma in August, according to police video and reporting from multiple outlets. The footage shows Perez in a patrol car while police document the incident.
In the video described by outlets, Perez appears emotional, including sobbing and praying, and she asks to go home. Fox News also reports that she admits to drinking wine. New York Post reporting adds additional details from the stop, including that Perez declines field sobriety tests and rates her sobriety a four out of 10.
The outlets focus on different elements of the incident: one highlights the emotional scenes captured in the patrol car, while the other emphasizes her interactions during the stop, including her refusal of field sobriety tests and her self-assessment of sobriety. Both accounts attribute the information to the same police video and the reported circumstances of the August arrest.
